How does Extended Thinking improve debugging?

Extended Thinking allows Claude to simulate complex system states and generate multiple competing hypotheses for bugs where the root cause is not immediately obvious from the stack trace.

What debugging methodologies are supported?

The skill supports the MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) framework, the 5 Whys technique, and systematic hypothesis testing to ensure no potential cause is overlooked.

Can this skill help with performance issues?

Yes, it includes performance debugging patterns and timeline reconstruction tools to identify bottlenecks and unexpected latency in both monolithic and distributed applications.

Is this skill limited to Python and JavaScript?

While it provides specific code patterns and debugger commands for Python and JavaScript, the core logical frameworks and troubleshooting methodologies are applicable to any programming language.

Resolves complex software errors using hypothesis-driven frameworks and extended reasoning for Python, JavaScript, and distributed systems.

Acerca de

This skill transforms Claude into a senior debugging engineer by providing structured methodologies for root cause analysis. It integrates Claude's extended thinking mode to tackle non-deterministic issues like race conditions, memory leaks, and performance bottlenecks. By utilizing specialized templates such as MECE analysis, the 5 Whys, and incident timeline reconstruction, this skill moves beyond simple error fixing to comprehensive system stabilization and prevention.
